For taking turns, can't you just have a variable which alternates between 0 and 1? When its 0 the player gets to move, and when 1 the AI moves?

For movement, each time the turn changes each unit gets their "move" variable set to a value (3 for moving 3 grids). If a unit has more than 0 in "move", then they can be selected to move (subtract from it when moving a grid).

When all units on your side have their "move" at 0. Then change the turn variable so the other player gets to go.

Just an idea.

Unfortunatley mouse behaviour is really inadequate if you're using v-sync, but is okay when using unlimited or fixed runtime.

Here's a thread for changing the cursor image via python:

I found a work around, I just made a family2. I just coppied and pasted all the code from family1 and changed it to family2, and new objects can go into family2 instead of family1.

I have about 19 objects in my family, and when I add 1 more to the family, all the events that resize and position the family stop working. When I delete it, it works again -- when I add a new sprite to the family it stops working. Is this a common bug? Or would it be a problem with my code.

i counteracted the effects of the projection matrix with x,y,width,height, but that causes problems because it's not at all a perfect and needs to be tweaked like crazy in order to work properly. the ability to control the amplitude of the projection matrix's effects on z-elevations would be great.

Do you think you could share an example of this?

Has anyone else noticed how the family icons are strange? When you draw them you're given a 16x16 box but throughout the application they appear at different sizes.

I added a new family called "map", I drew it at 16x16 but its resized to 8x8?

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1024727/family0.PNG">

Then it appears in weird sizes in other places:

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1024727/family1.PNG">

I tried drawing them at 32x32, but it only looks good in this box:

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1024727/family3.PNG">

But then it gets cropped in other places?

Is it because the sprites are small and they're moving fast?

Most gamers, have at least 256 mb of vram, but if you want to be even safer maybe 128mb.

Steams hardware survey will help give an idea.
